That “tuck” though! - 37" BFG KO2 C with +25 mm Method Wheels - No Lift

[5adventurers]

Just chiming in to say this exact thread was my inspiration. I always liked the 703s, but wasn't sure if I wanted +25 or 0 for offset. I chose +25 because it saves on bearings, turning radius (supposedly) and keeps the jeep cleaner. I like the look of a little poke, but just not as practical.

I decided to go for the full AEV dualsport after researching since May, and I'm happy with it.

But, as a Rubicon owner, I can now attest you can run 37s on 703s with no lift. Drove it around town for a bit before I put the lift on that evening.

See below for before and after. Thanks for posting and being the inspiration with "the tuck"

looks awesome my friend. I like that fender gap from the 2” dual sport; plenty of room for tire stuffing without diminishing form.

Thanks. I went back and forth between the dualsport and spacer....i liked the stock ride, but I was hoping for a touch more clearance and hoped ride and drive wouldn't suffer. It rides/drives great. It is a touch stiffer, which I'd heard, but no more bump recoil from the soft suspension. So a fair tradeoff. Steers true. So, I'm happy.

I have the exact same setup. We did some off-road trails in Idaho last weekend with some pretty decent ruts and rocks and I had no issues with rubbing even with sway bar disconnected and fully loaded down with camping gear. I do plan on lifting soon because the stock suspension is very soft with the truck loaded.

Are you running zero offset or 25+ ? Looks great! I want the new machined finish methods but I reached out to them and they are only going to offer that finish in 0 offset. Which is disappointing. So now I’m debating just keeping the stock wheels or going to the 0 offset methods.

Those are the Method 703’s +25 offset.

For comparison, here is my setup with KO2s and 0 offset methods.
